🎪 Step right up and meet Two-Faced Polly — a story that blurs the line between spectacle and humanity. Sherri Bale’s tale takes us deep into the circus grounds of the 1930s, where oddities, illusions, and unexpected friendships thrive.

✨ What do we see when we look at difference — and what does it reveal about us?

🚪📷 Sometimes the simplest signs speak the loudest.

W***y Conley’s “Low-Tech Signage” captures the quiet poetry of everyday visuals — a reminder that meaning isn’t always digital, polished, or loud. In the overlooked and handmade, we find wit, resilience, and humanity.

🎭📚 What does it mean to be hired for your face?

In San Antonio Review, Eric Flanagan and Sam Voutas discuss their graphic novel White Faced Lies — a story rooted in the bizarre world of “face jobs” in China, where white foreigners are paid to pose as executives to lend companies prestige.

From film script to graphic novel, the authors reveal the decade-long creative journey behind their work, the cultural collisions of modern China, and the challenge of telling stories across continents.
